WHAT'S IN THE BOOK

UX Optimization Overview

You don't know what you don't know

Overview of the 4 UX optimization steps including using Personas and behavioral UX data, finding and analyzing usability data, how to combine behavioral UX and usability testing data for optimizations.

Using Personas

Important to create, get right, and use

Not everyone in the world will want to use your website. Personas identify the most common types of users, their needs, and how they expect your website to work. Use Personas to identify data for evaluation.

Behavioral UX Data

Too Many Data Choices Can Be A Bad Thing

Behavioral UX data is the 'what is happening' data from user website activity. Not all data is equal. And with so much data available how do you know what data is the best data to evaluate? This chapter will show you.

Usability Testing Data

Even One Test Can Uncover Critical Issues

Usability testing and UX research data is the 'why it's happening' data. But what type of usability test should be conducted, and what's the right way to ensure unbiased results? Learn secrets to testing success.

Putting It All Together

Looking for the patterns across diverse data

This is where we combine the 'what is happening' quantitative data with the 'why it's happening' qualitative data and identify patterns. Having a holistic view provides the data necessary to find the issues.

The Big Picture

Practice makes perfect and always test the test

Sometimes UX research can be like a bad date gone wrong. It takes time and patience to master quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Practice makes perfect, learn from what went right and wrong. Tips for success.
